v2.1 added...
ITLv2.1 consolidates the four hidden buttons to make the file size smaller and put 4 ini files into 1.

? Are you sure you want 4 ini files into 1?

I use 5 ini's in my skin so I know the buttons will always be the spaced correctly from the proper edge no matter what the window is resized to. The left and right side buttons are vertically centered and always on the edge, the zoom buttons are horizontally centered the proper distance from the bottom, and the other buttons are always the same distance from the lower left & right corners.

You can do it how you like, I just wanted to make sure you understand how the boarder left/right/top/bottom variables work.

It works just fine. They are "anchored" from the bottom left, so to speak. I changed the res for the skin and it looks okay.

What I meant was that I have 4 hideable buttons in the bottom left corner (think BotLeft.ini) from your skin. I wanted to make them ALL hideable, but had a separate .ini and separate .png file for each button. You can see them load one at a time, and in the order they are defined. By putting all four in one .png file, I can use one .ini file and load them at once: less code, smaller filesize, cleaner/quicker skin loading.

I made my buttons half the size of the originals. I like to maximize screen space for navigation. If anyone would like larger buttons, let me know. I run 800x600 so the current skin works well for me. Anyone runnig anything larger might fat-finger the buttons

Nice skin, ITL. Here's what I'm getting, though. Things aren't lining up properly on the bottom. No sure, but this may be the issue RPM was describing above.

Your bottom is cut off...look at your mph. If you fix the embedding of iG, the buttons should line up.

What file is this exactly?? I'm having the same problem.

I thought I did embed properly. Is there something else I need to do besides adjusting the form size and position in ig3.ini? I tried reducing the client height but that didn't fix the problem (see attached). The same thing also happens even when I open SKINbedder outside of RR. This issue did not occur with RPM's skin.

I have this same problem, but I did this to fix it:

1. Go to \SKINbedder\iG3\iGMap
2. Open iGMap.ini
3. Find the code "NudgeDown=20"
4. Change the value to fit your screen. I changed mine to '2' and it fits perfectly, both running SKINbedder outside RR and inside RR.
